Guide: How to Use the Transcription Platform

The Transcription platform (transcription.awalproject.com) allows the community to transcribe Tarifit content together. This is a collaborative, human effort — every contribution matters.

How does it work?

For audio and video

Listen to a recording and write what you hear, segment by segment. The built-in player lets you replay, adjust speed, and navigate easily.

For books and scanned documents

Text zones are automatically detected on pages. You correct and complete the text for each zone.

For video channels

Videos from a channel are listed automatically. You can transcribe each video separately.

Why contribute?

  • You preserve Tarifit oral and written heritage
  • Your transcriptions feed the translation platform
  • They also help train AI models for Tarifit

How to participate?

  1. Log in with your Awalproject account
  2. Choose a project (audio, video, book, or channel)
  3. Transcribe using Tarifit characters (assisted input built-in)
  4. Submit your segments

Your name appears on every segment you transcribe. A dashboard lets you track your contributions.
